72 CRESSING ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 72 CRESSING ROAD sales between September 2002 and December 2024 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2017 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
